Put Selling remains my most favorite strategy for many reasons. One of them though is because so many stocks trade within ranges which are so easy to do Put Selling against. For example, last year I did only a couple of Put Selling trades against Procter and Gamble Stock (PG Stock), but I did paper trade it the entire year to see what sort of results I could achieve. Paper Trading is not the same as using actual capital but much of my capital was tied up in other stocks and I enjoy paper trading certain stocks as well. I realize that a lot of investors think paper trading is a waste of time but I think paper trading has enormous benefits particularly when I am busy Put Selling other stocks and I want to test out a new strategy or Put Selling against a new stock and see what kind of results to expect while keeping my capital safe and busy working in other stocks.

Put Selling PG Stock
As mentioned I did paper trading last year with Put Selling against Procter and Gamble Stock (PG Stock) and the return was 12%. But then I added in some Bollinger Bands Strategy Trade and the return jumped to 22%. Not bad at all for a big heavy weight stock that pays a decent dividend and has a very large institutional following. In fact Procter and Gamble Stock (PG Stock) may be a prime candidate for the core portfolio I mentioned in my article on Building Wealth.

This big cap dividend payer is having trouble holding the $70.00 highs to create a new trading range. This tells me the stock is a great Put Selling candidate and with its history PG Stock would fit the Building Wealth Covered Calls profile beautifully. This morning I commenced my first Put Selling trade in PG Stock!
